There are numerous inequities in the world with millions of people dying every year of curable diseases and hunger. It is not that people don’t care; it is that they are ill informed and believe nothing can be done about it. Unfortunately the current system does not reward people for alleviating suffering and we need to develop a system that will reward the alleviation of suffering around the world.

It will not be easy. I am tired of hearing how there were always people in poverty and there would always be people in poverty. Inequities were an inevitable part of mankind some claimed. The world has limited resources. One person alone can not help everyone. However if everyone challenges the status quo and looks for more imaginative solutions the world can be made a better place.

We need to think creatively to come up with solutions and not be afraid to try to make something happen.

A lot of people say the world can not be united. It simply can’t be done. But if some brave individuals in our past had not challenged the majority view in their time we would still be in the stone ages. No airplane, no phones, everyone subject to the rule of kings and demigods.

I hope that Mr. ChengX is listening to me and doesn’t listen to all the people that are telling him he can’t do it. He has a great idea and a great dream, and I hope you will all give him and the dream a chance. Uniting the world seems like an impossible task, and it may be impossible, but the idea is not crazy. It’s brilliant! It has been said that there is a fine line between genius and insanity. I think Mr. ChengX’s idea is right at that fine line, but on the genius side.

Think how much easier it would be solving the world’s environmental, health, and hunger problems if the world was one nation. How much more efficient every business and humanitarian organization would be if there was only one set of government regulations to follow. With all the money we waste on military spending and multiple countries governmental bureaucracies, we would free up enumerable resources that could be dedicated to curing disease and ridding the world of hunger.

If Jesus, Mohamed, Yahweh and Buddha sat around a table to discuss what the words meant I am sure they would all be dismayed at how many people have twisted or ignored their teachings for their own purposes. I am also certain you would not hear a harsh word amongst them. You may see them shed some tears over the number of people that have said harsh words, or even worse, waged wars in their names. As you can imagine they would never come to blows over how to make the world better for everyone.

They would discuss how disappointed they are that mankind continues to waste all the tools they have been given fighting amounts themselves instead of using them to solve all the problems facing them. God would then wonder why people have not yet figured out they should be using the tools they have to unite people. God wants everyone to understand that mankind can end poverty and hunger and cure all the diseases laid in front of them if they simply use the resources and tools he has given them. We really have been given everything we need, we just need to work together and use it.

So please wish Peace on Earth and Good Will to everyone you see, but more importantly live it. Get motivated, do everything you can to bring the world closer, so we can all work together to make the world a better place.

What are the values of a borderless world? Will for starters it would be a much more efficient world. A world where there is one fair set of laws that govern everyone.A more humane world where the taxes and regulations are the same wherever you go and all companies and people are treated equally. A world where the best person for the job can be hired without caring where they were born or what nationality they are.No company or individual would be at a competitive disadvantage because some other company in some other country was allowed to pollute more, endanger their workers more, or use slave labor. It is hard to imagine that any honest person in the international business arena does not wish they had such an efficient world economic system to operate in.

The benefits to society as a whole would also be immense. Government could attend to the needs of the people instead of using precious resources protecting borders, drawing lines in the sand and fighting with other countries over trivial matters. If there were no individual countries there would be no need for armies. There would be no need for wars. Think of the untold billions of dollars that have been wasted on armies over the years. If the world is united, those resources can be used to wage war on poverty and disease.

If there was just one country we could efficiently pool the world’s resources, developing better medical resources and food supplies. It would just be a matter of time before we found cures for diseases like cancer and AIDs. Without borders, there would be no need for border patrols or worrying about where a person came from. If people could move freely about the world everything would be more efficient.

While there are a lot of cultural and political barriers that must be overcome to make something like this happen it all starts by believing it is the right thing to do. I know it will not happen today or tomorrow. It will not happen next week or next year. It may not even happen in our lifetimes but it can happen. Every great dream, every great revolution, must start somewhere. Humanities path to a brighter future starts here and now with us. We can make a difference. We must make a difference.

I am a fictional character but I want to come to life. It is my goal to unite the earth into one country. I believe if everyone worked together and we did away with borders the world would be a much better place. I will post here from time to time and all I ask is that you check in and show your support for my ideas and spread the work. If enough people believe we can make the dream come true, just like in the book that gave birth to me. Please check out my story at.
